Custodial History
The material came to the Society from Eric Lund on April 10, 1985, in the form of sixty‑three folders with the stipulations that: one, access is restricted and, two, their integrity (order) is to be maintained, and they are to be available to Eric Lund for his use.
Therefore, the records were not merged with the Swedish Pioneer Historical Society Collection, Manuscript Series 4. Also, because of the second request, the contents of no folder has been reorganized. The arrangement of the collection has involved only a reorganization of folder headings.
This restriction was formally lifted by the donor, Eric Lund, in October of 1998.
